Via Disc: Regenerative Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease

Reclaim Your Spine Health Without Surgery

At Synergy Spine and Pain Centre, we are proud to offer Via Disc NP, an innovative non-surgical solution for patients suffering from chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD). This groundbreaking treatment uses biologically derived allograft tissue to help restore the structure and function of damaged intervertebral discs.

What Is Via Disc NP?

Via Disc NP (Nucleus Pulposus) is a regenerative, injectable biologic therapy. It is designed to supplement the degenerated disc with hydrated nucleus pulposus allograft tissue, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility, and potentially slow the progression of disc degeneration.

Unlike traditional surgical procedures, Via Disc is performed under fluoroscopic guidance in an outpatient setting — meaning minimal downtime and no incisions.

How Does It Work?

Degenerative disc disease leads to the loss of disc height, hydration, and flexibility, which can cause significant back pain and nerve-related symptoms. Via Disc NP works by:

• Rehydrating the disc’s inner core
• Restoring biomechanical function
• Supporting the regeneration of native disc tissue
• Alleviating pressure on surrounding spinal structures

The treatment involves a single injection into the nucleus of the degenerated disc using a fine needle, guided precisely with real-time imaging.

Who Is a Candidate for Via Disc?

Via Disc NP is ideal for patients who:

• Are experiencing chronic low back pain (typically more than 6 months)
• Have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease via MRI
• Have not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or epidural steroid injections
• Want to avoid or delay spinal surgery

Our spine specialists at Synergy Spine and Pain Centre will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if Via Disc is right for you.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

• Procedure Time: Approximately 30–45 minutes
• Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic and mild sedation
• Recovery: Most patients resume light activity within a few days
• Results: Improvements may begin within weeks and continue over several months as the disc responds to the biologic treatment

Benefits of Via Disc

• Minimally invasive
• No general anaesthesia or hospital stay
• Potential to delay or avoid surgery
• Improves disc hydration and function
• Backed by clinical studies and real-world results
